Lithuanian Culture Minister Ignatas AdomaviÄius resigned on October 3rd, 2025, just days after his appointment, following public backlash over his response to a question about Crimea. AdomaviÄius, a member of the right-wing populist Dawn of Nemunas party, stated he was stepping down amidst ongoing controversy, as confirmed by Nexta TV. Prime Minister Inga RuginienÄ initiated the dismissal process for AdomaviÄius after he refused to directly answer a journalist's question regarding the status of Crimea, calling it a provocation.

In a separate development, Marine Le Pen was observed arriving at the HĆ“tel de Matignon to meet with the French Prime Minister on October 3rd, 2025, carrying a baby cat in a transport box, as reported by InsaneFrenchPol.
